I'm assuming that this check is running *on* the host 'zurich'?

/var/log/secure should be listing an entry, if sudo is being run.

Manually, *as the nagios user*, what happens when you do the following?

/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/iptables -nvL | /bin/grep 'Chain' | \
   /bin/awk '{ print $2 }'| /bin/grep Cid | /usr/bin/wc -l echo $?


How about just (again, as the nagios user):

/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/iptables -nvL
